New German Reicl,stag.

BERLIN, March 3.-The new German
Reichstag was opened to-day. The Emper
or's speech was read from the throne. In it
he says he is gratifed at the benevolent dis
position the Pope has shown towards the
Empire The foreign policy Of the Empire
ID continually directed TO the maintenance
of peace with ell powers aud especially with
Germany's neighbors. The foreign relations
of the government are the same as when the
last Reichstsg was opened. If the present
Reichstag, without hesitation or divisions
give unanimous expression TO the resolve
that the nation willput forth its full strength
in full panoply now, and at all times against
any attack upon our frontiers, such resolu-
ton, even before carried out, will materially
strengthen the guarantees of peace and
remove the doubts which the late parlia-
mentary debates may have inspired. The
Emperor feels assured that the Reichslag by
its resolutions will give the federal govern
ments national policy on safe basis, and
derives from this conviction the confident
hope that God will bless his efforts to pre-.
serve the peace and security Of Germany.
The same internal bills that were submitted
to the previous Reichstsg will again be
offered. The creation of new sources OF
revenue aud the reform of the methods oil
taxation are urged.
